What species of clown is this?

Hi guys. I'm a bit embarrassed to be asking, but I've searched online and can't find the name of this new pair of clowns I brought home last night. No white striping or bars at all.
They were simply labeled 'red clowns' at the LFS.
The smaller male is more a true orange in color. The large female (pictured) is a nice true vibrant red coloration. She's huge too, probably 3 1/2". The BTA she's in is at least 5" in diameter. Pics were taken with flash.

Yes that is an amphiprion ephipium. Nice find! There are some varieties of melanopus clowns that are similar but I doubt they would show up in the trade.
